Early talk on sex
makes topic easier
By Ruth Linton, P.H.N., B.A.,
Family Planning Nurse,
Clinton Office,
Huron County Health Unit
Sex education is an odd
business. We can tell our
children how corn grows, how
an engine runs or what makes
it rain. Ilowever, when it
comes to telling how the
human body works and h� w
life begihs many parents run
into difficulty.
We often think someone
else could do it better because
we are not sure of the words
to use or feel that we might
make a mistake. .If this is
your feeling then you are not
alone. Just remember perfec-
tion isn't necessary in
teaching about sex. 'l'here are
few people who are experts in
the field of sex education.
People often think that sex
education is something to he
taught in the future, at
adolescence of some other
specific time. Parents envi-
sion a one; session mother-
daughter or father -son chat
and the job is done. It doesn't
happen like this.
Sex education begins at

birth. The care children
receive from birth by loving
parents who feed, cuddle, pl-
ay with and nurture them is
sex education. This .shows
children what love is and
creates a capacity for them to
go out to others with trust and
affection. This is the basis for
stable, happy relationships in
years to come.
Once a child begins to ques-
tion body differences or ask
questions on sexuality the
parents should give honest
answers geared to thechild's
level of understanding. A
small child's attention span is
short, 30 seconds oy one
estimation, so great detail is
wasted. Be prepared to have
the same questjons repeated.
The child is confirming the
original answer or may have
forgotten what he was told.
The parent by answering
the questions honestly is,
brick by brick, laying.a solid.
foundation for the future. The
child will know he can ask
questions and by building on
this solid foundation grow up
with a warns, open attitude
toward the parent. Ile will
know that the parent is ap-
proachable and will continue
to discuss sexuality questions
through adolescence with the
same openess.
There are parents who are
concerned because their
children don't ask questions.
Children may be shy or don't
know how to ask. They may
have been told "stork" stories
and don't have a basis on
which to build further
knowledge. Parents should
take the opportunity to bring
up the topic and let children
know that it is all right to ask.
Often a friend or relative who
is pregnant can be of help. A
mention O[ "aunty's tummy"
and its signufIcanc. is .enough
to let the child feel comfor-
table and open the way to
many questions.

Junk food will always be around
Could a generation grow up
without junk food? The people
might be healthier, but it
wouldn't seem natural. Fad
foods are the stuff memories
are made of.
Some treats seem to have
always been with us - the hot
names were popular but
disappeared after awhile -
Majorette and Li'l Abner, for
instance.
There was an art to eating
potato chips. Some people
squeezed and rolled the bag
before opening until every

dog, for example. It may have
changed in size and fixings
over the years, but basically
a hot dog is still a hot dog.
Popcorn has been
smothered with salt, hot but-
ter and caramel, but
underneath it all remains the
kernel.
Crackerjack boxes still con-
tain surprises - always at the
bottom.
Some fad foods were
characteristic of the times.
For people growing up in the
thirties and forties, for in-
stance, eating an ice cream
cone was an event.
Taffy pulls were exciting
contests, and a single candy
cane or licorice stick was a
huge treat
Then came the fifties and
sixties, when "junk" food was
more available.
Potato chips were bought in
nickel baast Some brand
chip was finely crushed.
Sometimes opening the bag
was a challenge.
French fries were covered
with smooth fattening gravy.
Suzy Q's - or' Curly Q's, as
they were sometimes called -
were thin french fries curled
into interesting shapes.
Some kids enjoyed sur-
prises, especially if they were

cheap. The "grab bag" was chewing to talk.
Ideal for them. It usually con-
sisted of stale candies, but the
price was right.
Some people recall treats
that 1 haven't heard of -
cherry coke, Kik Cola and
Honey Sponge. My favourite
luxury was the jaw breaker -
a huge round hard wad of
gum. It was probably my
parents favourite too,
because it kept me too busy
Also, in my mind, 1 can
vividly picture the small
distinctive Coke bottle that
was destined to become a col-
lector's item.
Many people claim the sun-
dae of the fifties and sixties
was enormous, but maybe it
was like the fish that got
away.
Cheese seemed to be
popular in the seventies -
cheese balls, cheese puffs,
cheesies.
In the late seventies and
early eighties, more people
became nutrition conscious.
Natural foods and foods that
are good for us are "in".
Nevertheless so-called "junk
food" is stili around.
Some futurists claim in a
few years we won't eat food,
but we'll pop a pill instead.
My guess is one of thole pills
will be labelled "junk food".
Institute members look
at controversial topics
Women's Institute ( WI)
members across the province
are taking a look at some con-
troversial issues this year.
Women's rights, women's
use and misuse of drugs and
alcohol, and
microtechnology's effect on
women in the workplace and
in the home, are only some of
the suggested topics.
These topics, prepared by
provincial conveners and ex-
ecutive members, are being
sent to branch conveners in a
factsheet to help them plan
1983-84 meetings.
Each WI branch can decide
which topics or sub -topics it is
interested in developing.
Co-ordinating this effortis
Joyce Canning, former home
economics supervisor for On -
tario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food (OMAF).
Canning says her new post
as OMAF's co-ordinator of
rural women's groups
strengthens the ministry's tie
with the 86 -year-old WI.
"The ministry has always
held a close tie with the
Women's Institute. But this is
the first time the ministry has
been involved in developing
specific programming."
The objectives of the WI,
founded in 1897 by Erland Lee
and Adelaide Hoodless, re-
main unchanged. The WI en-
courages sound homemaking
skills, develops women's
leadership skills, identifies
problems and needs in the
community, promotes
resource material and
develops happier, more useful
citizens.
